Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed May' Z0, 1904. Serial No, 208,949.

To all whom t may aon/cern:

Be it known that I, HERMAN F. DrE'rz,-of Syracuse, in the county ofOnondaga vand State of .New York, have invented acertain new and usefulCar-Window, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to windows, particularly ap licable torailway-coaches, and has for lts o ject the production of sashsupporting and manipulating means which is especially simple inconstruction and durable and efficient 1n use; and to this end itconsists inv vthe combinations and constructions here1nafter Jfully setforth and claimed.

In describing this invention reference is -had to the accompanyingdrawings,in which tional view'on line C C, Fig. 2.

1 is a window-frame having an opening 2,

chambers 3 4 aboveand below the opening 2 communicating therewith, andchambers 5 6' at opposite sides of said opening. This Jframe 1 may be ofany desirable form, size, and construction.

7 is.a sash which normally closes the opening 2, is movable upwardlyinto the chamber 3,' is provided witha longitudinal groove 7 O in itsloweredge, Figs. 2 and 5, and is also of any desirable form, size', andconstruction.

8 is a supplemental sash normallyarranged in thechamber 4 and movablewith and rela- 'tively to the sash 7, said supplemental sash 8 lying inthe same plane as the sash 7 and bemgnormally in Contact therewith.Inthe supported by a. suitable carriage movable with the sash 7 andcomprising bars 9, de'- pending. from the sash 7 into the chamber 4 andspaced a distance apart, and a cross-barv 10 between the 'lower ends ofthe-bars 9. A

suitable spring 11 is inountedon thev cross Ibar 10 and engages thelower edge of the sash 8 for holding sald sash 8 in its normal positionvand forcinga lengthwise tongue 8O on theupv er edge of said sash into'the ygroove 70 in the ower edge ofthe sash 7 and for permitting thesash 8 to move relatively to the sash 7 out of its normal position.Whenever the sash 7 is elevated, vthe sash 8 is simultaneously raisedout of the chamber 4 by the parts 9 1() 11, movablewith the sash 7.Consequently the sash 8 closes the portion oi the opening 2 beneath thesash 7 when raised, and thus facilitates the passage of air through thewindow and 'prevents the entrance of dust or 'the projection ofpassengers arms or heads through the opening of the window.

Patented March 2'7, 1906.

It will be understood, however, that whenever desired, especially forthrowing articles from thelcoach, the .sash 8 may be moved against theaction of the spring 11 downwardly and relatively to the 'sash 7 and thecarriage depending therefrom. This spring 11 may, however, be dispensedwith and the supplemental sash then fixed to the main sash 7.v

In the' referable construction of my invention t e sash 7 is raisedautomatically and is prevented from upward movement by suitablestop-levers 12 13, which, as here illustrated, extend lengthwise of thesash 7, at opposite sides thereof, in the chambers 5 6 in the frame 1and are pivoted intermediate of their ends to said frame, The upper endsof the levers 12 13 are formed'with laterally extending engaging parts14 15, ixed thereto and movable. into and out of sockets in the sideedges of the sash 7, and the lower ends of said levers are respectivelyconnected by links 16 y17 to the opposite ends of a lever 18, pivotedintermediate of its ends to the frame 1,

saidlinks 16 17,"and lever 18 being movable ina substantially horizontalplane beneath the opening 2. 'l'hese levers 12113are normally held inoperative engagement with the sash 7 byvany desirable springs 19.An'actuatmg member 20, arranged beneath the opening 2 and movable in adirection at substantialy right angles tothe path ofv movement of thesash 7, engages a lateral extension -21 ol the lever 18 and cooperatestherewithfor operat-l le." roe.

ing the lever 18 to Withdraw the stop-levers l2 i3 from operativeposition against the action of the springs 1Q.

The illustratedl means for automatically raising the sash 7 comprises aroller 22, suitable coiled springs 23, and a flexible connecpivotedcatch 26, detachably-engaging the Jfree end of said part 25.

The construction and operation of my Window will now be readilyunderstood u on reference to the foregoing description an theaccompanying drawings, and it will be apparent to those skilled in theart that more or less change may be made therein Without departing fromthe s irit of my invention.

Having thus'iul y described my invention, what I claim as new, anddesire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
